Cylindrical coordinates are a three-dimensional coordinate system that extends polar coordinates by adding a height component, allowing for the representation of points in space using a radius, angle, and height. This system is particularly useful in situations involving symmetry around an axis, as it simplifies the equations of motion for objects in cylindrical shapes or those undergoing rotational motion.
